The post yesterday was on Calvinism, not on all Calvinists everywhere. A reader writes a post I largely agree with: I dunno. Maybe all the Calvinists I spent several years living, studying, praying, and worshiping with before swimming the Tiber weren’t “real” Calvinists. But they seemed normal enough, and I never met a one who wouldn’t rather go out and have a few beers, talk about life, watch a game, and in short engage in normal human activity rather than... Read more

Welcome, my freshly harvested tissue donor. Thank you for donating *all* of your tissue to my worthy cause! Which cause is that? Why, defeating Fr. Philip, OPpressor, of course! Today, my son (who is off boning up on his treachery, smiling duplicity, assassination and scheming-for-my-throne skills just as I was at his age–shortly before my late father’s sudden and unexplained death and my ascension to POWER, ABSOLUTE POWER!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!) writes me to say: This is the most hilarious fruit of... Read more

I hereby propose the theory that the Catholic Church faked a landing on the moon in order to cover up its involvement in the assassination of CS Lewis, who knew too much. All this was, of course, the *real* message that the *real* Jesus came to give us 2000 years before it happened. Read more

wrote in response to my point that Materialist Moralists can’t derive “ought” from their materialist universe of “is”. True, atheists can’t explain everything. What’s interesting to me is that the Christian explanation (God did it) doesn’t explain anything either. What causes lightning? God did it. What causes thunder? God did it. Why does the chimpanzee genome and human genome look so similar? God did it. Why did the Lions lose? God did it. How do we derive our ought statements?... Read more

Boring as hell and safe as playing in your back yard. Want to *really* take a risk? Be a prolife Christian on a major college campus and you will discover what “avant-garde” *really* means. Read more

From deep inside the Bubble of anti-Catholic polemics comes a four part series on the devil in human form known as Scott Hahn. Personally, I think these theological equivalents of pulp fiction would be better if they had covers by Frank Frazetta. The theological bodice-ripper titles include: “The Desire of Scott Hahn” “The Lost Soul of Scott Hahn” “The Deception of Scott Hahn” and, last but not least, “The Damnation of Scott Hahn” Man! All I got was a crappy... Read more

the lesson to be learned from this, as ever, is that Christianity is just as bad or worse. That’s always the lesson to be learned from any story about anything bad done by any religionist anywhere: Read more

Down in the comboxes on the recent James White fracas, some of the AOMinions turned up, not so much to talk as to download pre-recorded Calvinist boilerplate like: If anyone on this comment page actually cares about the person Mary, who is a created Being, saved by God’s grace, do as she did. A concise encapsulation of Catholic Marian teaching and everything my book has to say. You’ll find those answers in Scripture alone. A purely human tradition and non... Read more
